I don't want you
And your distorted point of view
Looking down on me
I don't need you
Even though you think I do
I'm sure I'll find someone to take your place
Disconnected after all this time
It's time we say goodbye

Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
Back to you
Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
Back to you

I don't need you
To help me fill this empty room
I'd rather be alone
I think I hate you
From all the shit you put me through
You're hanging like a noose around my neck
Disconnected after all this time
It's time we say goodbye

Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
Back to you
Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
Back to you

You fall asleep behind the wheel
Everytime you get up to drive
Take your pills to make you feel
Like everything's alright inside of you

You turn it off and turn it on
You bleed your heart to everyone
But they don't know you
They don't know you like I do
Turn it off and turn it on
Cry a lie to everyone
But they don't hear you
Like I do

Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
Back to you
Don't tell me
That you're sorry
It's too late I'm not coming back
It's too late I'm not coming back
You're too late I'm not coming back to you
Not back to you

    I've been waiting AGES for new SoCo stuff, and this is great.

    His girlfriend fucked things up, and she wants him back. But he knows he'll be better off without her.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
